Synopsis
Every October Cara and her family become inexplicably and unavoidably accident-prone. Some years it's bad, like the season when her father died, and some years it's just a lot of cuts and scrapes. This accident season—when Cara, her ex-stepbrother, Sam, and her best friend, Bea, are 17—is going to be a bad one. But not for the reasons they think.
Cara is about to learn that not all the scars left by the accident season are physical: There's a long-hidden family secret underneath the bumps and bruises. This is the year Cara will finally fall desperately in love, when she'll start discovering the painful truth about the adults in her life, and when she'll uncover the dark origins of the accident season—whether she's ready or not.

Thoughts
This book was one of my anticipated releases last year (for the summer), and I was so excited to finally get my hands on this bad boy. But seriously, I was looking forward to reading this. So, when I finally got around to reading it, I had very high hopes that I would enjoy this book. And those expectations were met. I really enjoyed this book, for its suspenseful and thrilling qualities. But my only complaint was that all the main characters had a weird relationship with one another and I found it to be kind of creepy at times. But despite my low rating (3.5/5 stars), I still enjoyed it and I recommend that you read it during the fall/winter months.
I love reading thriller/mystery type books because they always keep me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. And this book was definitely one of them. It was so gripping, thrilling, and suspenseful that I didn't want to put the book down at certain points. However, I did find some of the plot twists to be quite predictable and because of that, I was a little disappointed. But it was still an awesome read.
My only HUGE complaint with this book, was that all the main characters (Cara, Sam, Bea, and Alice) had a really weird relationship with one another. And at times it sort of creeped me out. I also found the writing style to be rather odd, and I sometimes had a hard time getting into it. But for the most part, it matched the tone of the story, and the book overall was really good.
So, those are all my main thoughts on this book I hope you all enjoyed. And if you have read this book, then let me know your thoughts in the comments below. I know this review was slightly shorter than my previous ones, and that's because I just haven't had a lot of thoughts on the books I've been reading. But I promise I will post longer reviews for you guys soon. Happy reading and until my next post, goodbye for now.
